Learn More About Anya

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My husband and I adopted two cats, Maple & Leo, during the pandemic in 2020. When I’m home, they love to either be cuddling with me or be in the same room at all times. My favorite things about my cat companions are their unique, routine ways of showing affection and how our bonds grow stronger everyday. We’re obsessed with each other!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

It’s important they seem detail-oriented, organized, and motivated. Additionally, how they interact with your cats at a meet & greet is important to pay attention to. I personally consider answering questions like: Does the potential sitter seem at ease rather than nervous? Does it seem that they have a genuine love for and excitement to connect with your cats? Do they seem to have a good understanding of cat body language and boundaries and how to approach a new cat? Do they seem confident in meeting your cat’s unique needs? I strive to make you feel confident in answering “yes” to these sorts of questions!

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I’m cautious when entering and exiting a cat’s home to prevent one from darting out! I also make sure doors are thoroughly closed and locked per owner instructions. Having a list of to-do items and an organized approach to visits eliminates forgetting important tasks, ensuring all cat needs, the usual and the unique, are met. Limiting what I bring into each home to essentials like keys mitigates the risk of unintentionally leaving something behind that could be unsafe for cats. On that same note, it is essential to do a thorough check at the end of a visit to ensure owner requests pertaining to their cat’s security and safety are met and that things are as I found them when I entered the apartment. I’m especially careful with items that are stringy or items like hair ties to eliminate the risk of ingesting inedible objects.

Anya was amazing—reliable, attentive, and communicative. Both of my cats loved her. She asked thoughtful questions to make sure she was doing everything right, especially when my instructions weren’t very clear. I would definitely book her again!

Anya is a friendly, responsible, and caring person, and was a reliable pet-sitter when I needed her to take care of my cats when I was away. She enjoys connecting with people, and she genuinely adores and is curious about cats, which I think makes being playful and attentive with them come so easily to her.

In past year and a half I have had 3 people watch my cat while I have been away. Anya has been the best person. She visited my cat everyday, cleaned her litterbox daily, and played with her while also sending photos and videos. Anya showed me that i could feel reassured even away from my cat

Frequently Asked Questions

Arlington cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Cat sitters on Meowtel offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel has been background-checked and reviewed. Every Meowtel reservation may come with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in your sitter before you leave.

Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation may come with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
